Rather than having cluttered countertops, Tanya Lacourse with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.violetmarsh.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violet Marsh Interiors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shares how drawers are essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizing bathroom drawers with no-lid containers that house your products can help effectively find what you&#8217;re searching for. Consider having containers for AM products, PM products, make-up, and miscellaneous skincare or hair care products. Lastly, Lacourse adds that if you&#8217;re remodeling a bathroom, you&#8217;ll want to consider the vanities to have layers of drawers where space is not sparse.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86485\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image001.jpg\" alt=\"blue mud room\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image001.jpg 597w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image001-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image001-213x150.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image001-425x300.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Copper Sky Design + Remodel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.
